1.1 This test method specifies sampling, cleanup, and analysis procedures for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ambient air.
1.2 This test method is designed to collect both gas-phase and particulate-phase PAH and to determine them collectively.
1.3 This test method is a high-volume sampling (100 to 250 L/min) method capable of detecting PAH at sub-nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m) concentrations with sampling volumes up to 350 m of air.
1.4 This test method has been validated for sampling periods up to 24 h.
1.5 Precision and bias under normal conditions can be expected to be 35 to 50 %.
1.6 This test method describes a sampling and analysis procedure for PAH that involves collection from air on a combination fine-particle filter and sorbent trap and subsequent analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
1.7 The range of this test method is approximately 0.05 to 1000 ng/m of air sampled.
1.8 The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as standard.
